I agree with both sides of the Corbin/Williamsburg debate. Top to bottom, I do think that corbin has more talent and would likely win a 4 quarter game but the gap has definitely closed and it wouldn't be a huge upset like it was a few years ago. The Jackets have more talent up top but once you get down into the depth chart, Corbin's talent takes over.

That being said, it brings me to a gripe about Corbin. So often, depth has been Corbin's downfall. It's not because they do not have depth, rather they do not utilize it. There are loads of talent over on those sidelines capable of playing and contributing. There is no need to play 25 players when you have damn near 70 kids on the roster. I can understand most freshmen and a few others not playing but get these kids on the field!

I always wondered if depth cost Corbin a couple of wins against Newport Catholic. It seems like Corbin would at the worst, be playing even at the half and then NCC would take over in the second half. I'm not sure if it was depth or good halftime adjustments made by the NCC staff, who seemed to know exactly what Corbin was going to run and when, and the Hounds were not physically powerful enough to just run it down their throats anyway. One year Watkins was basically Corbin's only offensive threat due to no passing attack, and when he got injured prior to that game, he was used as a decoy, which didn't turn out too well.
